I know that this will upset thousands of gamers, but it does seem as if the Xbox 360 is the worst games console that was ever created. The thing is you need to have a look at some facts, Microsoft’s games console likes to eat discs. My brother was playing Forza 2, when his Xbox 360 decided that it was hungry and started to devourer the disc, what was left was a disc that was badly scratched.
And that is not all; many people are on their second Xbox as the first got that dreaded RROD. I had an Xbox and had it for just under a year, and then I got that Red Ring of Death. I was upset, however thankfully I had it repaired free of charge from Microsoft.
Since I purchased my Sony PS3; my Xbox 360 seems to be gathering dust. Maybe I might give it away to someone or use it as a doorstop, well it is bulky enough.

Hey Manace, how about some respect for the english language?

360 DEGREES OF PROBLEMS
**********************************************
xbox 360 is by far the worst money wasting console ever built….at first it was disk scratching,then it was the RROD now its everything else!!!!!
its one problem after another!!!!
and after all these problems Microsoft finally came out and said it “we knowingly shipped out the faulty units for launch day 05″
what!?!?!? wait that’s not all….tell us MS why did you do that?
“we did it to get our system out there first because we had Sony and Nintendo to deal with,if we had publicly admitted our Console had problems we would have to hold back our release to fix all the problems than where would that get us? Sony and Nintendo would gain the upper hand”
wow good job MS,that quick decision skill of yours has resulted in lawsuits and a very disappointed fan base….the Xbox was the best and most technologically superior console of the ages…it clearly won me over….Bungie chose MS as their choice for Halo…it took them to top and if was on Sony of Nintendo would be terrible…..
but now i think we have no more options or I don’t at least im tried of MS’s Hell in a Box……mine had the RROD so i sent it in for fixing….it came back and lasted a full year now……the damn thing overheats in 10 seconds
(yes intercooler and all) i dont know what will happen if i send it again,when it comes back it’d probably grow arms and legs then try to kill me…….
Sorry 360 looks like mankind wasnt ready to put up with such a demanding machine even if you were the first of the Next Gen…
my guess is it will be one more year before the killing begins yall prepare yourselves!!!!!!!
the xbox 360 is the worst!! i got the RROD AGAIN 3 weeks ago and didnt even bother to get it repaired AGAIN so now all i do is play my PS3 nonstop all the time!!! +the PS3 has better graphics but thats only my Opinion……
I don’t care if someone calls me a sony fanboy because hell whats wrong with that? great system and blu-ray, I’m still confused about the 360 people crying anout games…I have a ps3 and I’ve had and have alot of good games and yes ps3 exclusives library isn’t as full as it could be but guess what thats because they are taking thier time with the exclusives because it’s QAULITY not QAUNTITY that we want…so take your sub-par console and your 90% sub-par exclusives and enjoy…Be sure that I have and will continue to thuroughly enjoy my superior system…The guy crying about blu-ray…in game informer they had a article about a massive multi-plat game coming out and if it is going to fit on xbox 360 they will need to put it on 3 discs VS. the 1 dics for ps3.
